I can’t comment on outside of Europe, but I have 2 pairs of CLs, heels and boots, the latter was purchased just before Christmas. They both came with the hand painted red sole and I got both pairs resoled with the CL-embossed rubber sole. I brought my shoes to the Dublin store and they sent them to the Paris atelier.
My SA didn’t mention anything about new pairs with the rubber sole, but I’d rather buy the hand painted ones and get them resoled when they start to wear off…
